What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Lots of people put off calling a real estate agent because they think it means they're committing to something. It doesn't. A first appointment with me is just a conversation. I'm Josue Mayfield, MRP, with Big Bexar Realty Group, brokered by Real Broker, LLC, and here's how that first conversation usually goes.

Step 1: Pick a time that works for you

Go to my Appointments page and choose a time for a phone call. You can also call or text (210) 875-0155 or email BigBexarRG@gmail.com.

Step 2: We talk about where you are

You don't need to prepare anything special. I'll ask a few simple questions:

Are you thinking about buying, selling, or both?
What's your rough timeline? "Someday" is a perfectly good answer.
What matters most to you, like your commute, the size of the home, the yard, or being close to certain places?
What questions have been on your mind?

If you're buying for the first time, that's completely fine. We'll take it one step at a time, and no question is too basic.

Step 3: I explain how the process works

I'll give you a plain-language overview of what buying or selling in Texas looks like from start to finish. I'll also go over a state form called Information About Brokerage Services. Texas requires agents to share it, and it explains the different ways an agent can work with you. You can find a link to it in the footer of my website.

If you're buying, you can read more on Buying a Home. If you're selling, see Selling Your Home. If military orders are part of the picture, Military Relocation covers how I help with the real estate side of a PCS.

Step 4: You decide what's next

When we finish talking, you might want to start looking, put together a plan for selling, or just think it over. All of those are good outcomes. I'd rather you feel informed than rushed.
